Posted date: 2017-Nov-24

Location: UK

uk: Research Associate in Bioinformatics/Computational Biology [3+ y | 100% | Duties: The main aim of the programme is to identify genetic causes of hearing loss and dementia as well as clinical diagnostic markers of disease severity or disease progression. The post offers a unique opportunity to develop innovative computational and statistical methods to fully exploit large-scale patient orientated biological datasets. This is an exciting opportunity for a committed and highly motivated individual to become part of a multidisciplinary research environment aiming to combine genomic, molecular phenotype and imaging information to provide a better understanding of the molecular basis of hearing loss and dementia | Minimum Requirements: We are particularly interested in individuals with either expertise in computational biology and the statistical analysis and interpretation of large scale biological datasets, or alternatively in the development of computational methods and tools for processing multi omics data and implementing them in a scientific context. More specifically, the post-holder will require expertise in the analysis of next generation sequencing data (including whole exome sequencing and RNA-seq data) and in the analysis of genome wide association studies. This is a joint appointment (available from October 1st 2017) between the Deafness and Hearing Problems BRC and the Healthcare, Engineering and Imaging (HEI) BRC. Applicants will ideally hold a PhD in compu...] / University College London (UCL); London, United Kingdom / deadline November 25
